Its amazing seeing how your greenhouse has transformed over the years. Still looks as productive as ever even though the countless micro flats are missing
Nice Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Yeyandon Hardgaining Transformer (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to go from skinny to packing on muscle without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan at very last got astronomical success with it.
Red Malibar Spinach also creates a phenomenal edible shade. I grow it on the outside end of my GH, on a flexible plastic mesh type fencing hung high. Inside AND outside would be great
Thanks for the idea 😁 it’ll maximise the production we can get out of the greenhouse my husband just built me using old windows. I’ve never been able to keep a passion fruit alive, probably too cold here over winter so will give that a try
I'm a noob to the greenhouse club and I'm really excited! We just built a 12'x16' and we are working to get all the things set up in it. I have always loved your channel, very helpful and informative. This video will really help me!
It just crossed my mind that a greenhouse with a basement with air circulation might be good. The basement could double as a workspace and root cellar leaving the upstairs for vegetation. Also, I've seen a few homes built inside a greenhouse. interesting concepts.
A German architect (can't remember name has his south facing green houses extend over the house roof of two storeys and the ventilation is up the top. Some are computer controlled and some have simple rope pulleys. The air inlets can come from the house, from underground tubes, from over a small fish pond.... Having a Water tank inside helps control winter variations by having more mass. Your raised beds also absorb heat and reradiate it at night. Plants definitely help but their impact is minimal compared with passive ventilation with precooled air. Check out Bill Mollison's talk on Trompes... where water falls down a constructed well with air straws and then the cold compressed air is collected in an underground chamber... it's a natural way to make a freezer. Might be useful in your new house while you have the earth moving equipment.
Great to see. I was thinking the same for my first (small) greenhouse, so have a grape coming. A friend had a huge passionfruit outdoors. Such a pretty flower too.
Slow start here in eastern oregon mountain-snake river cusp as well. However, these last 2 weeks it has been hot, breaking hundreds last few days...wishing for winter?? Almost. And as I type this, there's a wind from the north...thanks God, some relief. Thanks for sharing as always, Curtis.
Some fig varieties actually give 2 crops a year, on new growth and last year's growth. Some varieties grow like a weed 6-8 ft of new growth a year. Figs and passion fruits are my absolute favorite fruits. They are so easy to grow, delicious and nutritious. Thank you for the video. I will keep this idea in mind when I have my own greenhouse
WOW! Your greenhouse, I'm remembering a past video where you showed us you planting turmeric or ginger, it sure has turned into a JUNGLE! LOL....as for the temp ya guys get up North, I never would have thought you'd get that hot, 40°/104°F?!! I have nothing to complain, we're lucky, been stable at 86 to 88°F. Way to go Curtis, no wonder your kids love the Jungle, I can hear your li'l daughter telling your son: "Hey bro lets go exploring in Dad's Jungle, maybe we'll find a passion fruit, swipe it and eat it there!" Uprated and thanks for sharing bro. :)
We grow our tomatoes and green beans up trellis in front of the south side and that shade is so nice in there.. then we have solar vents in the roof with fans that turn on automatically, and we must when needed to create evaporation cooling
Curtis I never see sunflower growing in your garden .....free and productive microgreen for your family :) In my little greenhouse here in Laval, Québec I put 3 vignes, rasberry, strawberry, 🍑 peaches and pears (cut it will like a wall tree) figue, 🍉 watermelon,cucumber, tomatoes and soon harvest crop for winter season no heat
So I've watched this greenhouse evolve from microgreens nursery to climate battery and obviously you don't grow as much in here anymore. What do you primarily use the greenhouse for now? Do you still use the climate battery ventilation? I primarily use my greenhouse for our Roma's and heirloom tomatoes in the Ottawa, Ontario area but I had a problem with heat this year on other plants. So of I were to grow shade providing plants would I still have success with tomatoes in your opinion? I have a Gothic hoophouse from Farmers friend and open the side door and roll up sides to regulate temperature. No electricity.
Plastic pipes placed near the ceiling of the greenhouse and filled with cold underground running water circulating through them will cause the surround air around them to cool off and chill off and since cold air flows downward it will flow toward the plants and the floor of the greenhouse and cool off and chill off the air in between the greenhouse roof and the greenhouse floor. The cold underground water running through them will then be pumped down into the aquifer at a distance away from the greenhouse through an underground pipe and then pumped down into the aquifer by gravity to be recirculated back into the aquifer to be cooled again. Or just use layers of sunbreakers to reduce the incoming heat radiation.
I’d love to know how this ultimately worked out for you and if you’re planning on using this cooling method again? I’m rehabbing a huge greenhouse on my property, planning on putting a shop in a third of it and want to use plants as natural shade (with a proper ventilation system too, of course!)
I live where it gets 120 in summer. Since I feed quail and rabbit I also attract ground squirrels and all creatures attack any greenery. So I'm looking to get a small greenhouse- will my plants burn up if it gets 5-6 hours of super hot sun? We also have strong hot winds that kill anything green. Lots of space, some funds, plenty of time. What should I do? Help 😊😂
Here in the Phoenix area in Arizona it's been getting hotter every year for several years now. This year it's even hot to me. the seasons are really off also. The temperature seems to be polarizing. Cold places getting colder, hot places getting hotter, wet places getting wetter...
Great suggestions for the excessive heat of the greenhouse. What do you do in winter as I see you're in Canada? I also have very cold temps in winter and i can't afford the heating at night when it gets so cold.
Figs are also the easiest thing to propogate. All you need to do is take your cuttings when you hack it down, stick em in the dirt and you'll have an infinite supply of new fig trees
@curtis you mentioned you are looking into a passive green house, have you seen attic acres? Or what kind of passive greenhouse are you considering? Thank you for sharing.
nice vid, reminds me of my PDC where they talk about using grapes to shade the south side in summer, will the new greenhouse have a climate battery/geothermal like citrus in the snow over in Nebraska? thanks
Curtis is friendly but to the point, knowledgeable without being didactic, energetic without being driven, young but not too young, with a strong clear voice that avoids mannerisms . . . you have to appreciate him as he is, and it is good!
Just wondering if your cucumber plants are not being attacked by cucumber beetle since its inside rather than outside?? Its something I am presently dealing with here in southern ontario.
No only green net structure will work there.. He lives in cooler climate with frost every season.. In tropical mostly don't have to deal with snow and freezing cold
See the Discussion Section of this channel for a compilation of scriptures to support and clarify some doctrines. Thank you and have a very blessed day! The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
Curtis, with COVID bringing down restaurants, do you now still sell microgreens as much? What kind of strategy are you putting into place in regards to what you will focus on growing and selling with all of this plandemic nonsense?
Good job Urban. On other news... Q: Where is the Trump's new Healthcare plan which he promised to release two weeks ago? A: In never never land with all his other lies.
